About Countryside Montessori Day School

 Countryside Montessori Day School has been a predominant source of education for youths in the Kansas City Northland since 2007. Located on 80 acres of beautiful family-owned countryside, the school teaches traditional Montessori curriculums for children 6 weeks through 12 years of age. The school pervades multiple buildings on the property. One is a converted dairy barn where our one through six-year-olds spend their days, another is a converted house where each room is a different subject. The house also has a fully functioning kitchen, craft room, and library. Our Infants reside in a one-bedroom apartment-type layout in a smaller building on the property that provides a peaceful environment for our youngest scholars. Our Primary and Elementary-age students regularly venture to our outdoor classroom throughout the school year. The outdoor classroom is located on the back of our property by a creek. In the summer our outdoor classroom hosts our Forest School program where students spend up to 40 hours a week in the woods. We couldn’t be happier to share this amazing piece of land with our students and their families.

 “The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth."
- Maria Montessori

Forest School

Our Forest School program runs exclusively during the summer and is a wonderful opportunity to explore the great outdoors. Only for ages 6-12 years old, Forest School students can be in the outdoor classroom for up to 40 hours a week. Some activities students participate in are swimming, hiking, tracking, whittling, kayaking, paddle boating, cooking over the fire, learning how to start fires four different types of ways, making their own paper, getting a lesson from the Missouri Department of Conservations Stream Team, and so much more.  

The Elementary Program

The Elementary program is set up to spark curiosity, inspire learning, and encourage questioning. The materials in the room are built around the Five Great Lessons which tell the story of our universe, our planet, our species, and life on Earth in just such a way as to spark their imaginations with a million questions.

Conscious Discipline 

Countryside uses Conscious Discipline to handle behavioral situations among students. Our goal is to help students identify their emotions from their physical characteristics, and help provide a resolution that each involved party feels is amicable. Teachers will direct students to use their words and also encourage them to stand up for themselves when they feel they aren’t being treated fairly. Conscious Discipline is something we encourage all of our families to research for better understanding.

Transparent Classroom

Countryside Montessori Day School uses Transparent Classroom to track many parts of your student's day. Our infants get every bottle, nap, diaper, and meal tracked, but Toddler through Elementary students get lessons tracked. Behavior reports as well as incident/accident reports are documented through your students' profile. Photos of your student will be uploaded on their profile so you can see what they have been up to throughout the day. Announcements from admin and teachers will appear on the homepage as well as notify you through email.
